I sprayed around the emblems with wd-40 to soften the adhesive, let it soak a couple of minutes, then slid fishing line behind the emblems and it came off easily. WD-40 also makes it easy to remove what's left on the door before you put the new emblems on.

Cool, thanks! I will try that! Will floss work just as well?

Are you putting a different color back on? Or going with the sleek look?

I am putting balc ones on. Right now I have Firebat stickers on the stock emblems, but I think just new black emblems will look better! I want everyone to know I drive a Trans Am, hehe! There is not way I can be a sleeper when my car is ungodly loud, hehe! <img src="graemlins/gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0" alt="[very mad]" />

First thing to do is get it heated up with the hair dryer, at the same time slide fishing line behind the emblem(gets more of the gunk off and doesn't brake like the dental floss) Then I used Goo Gone to get the gunk off. Let it sit for a couple of minutes then peel it off. I did this on my Z28 emblems because I have the 69 Z/28 emblems coming in.

Later,
Jeremy

Plastic puddy knife with the emblems presoaked in GOo GOne. Works the best. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
